"Justin gets in here just before you every day, Mama. And he does nothing around here." - Evelyn
"You can make your own egg, Justin." - Hadiya
"Justin, why didn't you clean your room?" - Mama
Justin's sisters and his mama are always fussing at him. No wonder he's glad to go visit Grandpa's ranch. While he's there he will ride his favorite horse, Black Lightning, see the cowboys at the rodeo, and forget all about "women's work."
Mildred Pitts Walter writes with the sure touch of experience. She tells about a very special grandfather and about a boy's struggle to make it in a "man's world" -- even though he is surrounded by women.
